Yeah that can be a valid context from my POV, especially in a farm or sth similar.
But at least in my country the majority of outside cats are in suburbs or similar family homes with no agriculture around that is threatened by vermin.
On the other hand now I am wondering on the efficiency of cats as pest control.
Please dont tell me you mean the US with the great Satan?
The point I am standing by is: The US is bad, especially und the current administration it is on the brink of authocraty - but dare I say the Mullah regime was, is and will be worse.
The other week I saw Iranians in exile celebrating trump and even fucking Netanyahu on a demonstration. Now I don’t think they are idiots for swinging Israeli and USA flags along with the flag of their former kings heir. I think they bet on the tiniest potential for change and hope that it will come true - no matter who aids them in the fight against their torturer, their mourderer.
I sincerely hope the people of iran will be free one day, I think they will have to fight for this freedom themselves as the US won’t succeed in that if it is even their aim.
Dont forget that cats also are invasive in a lot of places. Now get that rooftop chicken before it gets an actual bird.
on a serious note: the good PR that cats have is INSANE they are dangerous for avifauna but saying that ones cat is an “outside cat” who needs to roam around freely is somehow considered a valid statement - it is a pet ffs. But doing the same with a dog usually is not.
Wouldnt it be smarter to test for cancer risk with microplastics in blood as the explaining variable.
Because all that gives you is saying “wow Theres a tumor, and it contains microplastics”.
I mean a society that lights incels, would probably also expand that torchability to other groups rather quickly. And then people like the one above cry because nobody could have Seen THAT coming.
I did but that turned out to be yet another stats course in R.
DISGUSTING
Not sure how effective of a pest control cats are. And don’t be mistaken on the role of cities as ecosystems. They can harbour birds a lot, especially with greenspaces.
